[Rhodes22-list] Anchor tray

[Mary Lou Troy]

Vindication! 10 years ago, we made the decision to keep the anchor 
and rode in a bag in the lazarette because, we speculated, the bay 
water and mud on the rode would just fester in the line tray in the 
v-berth. We use our anchor a lot. It doesn't smell up the lazarette 
because we often leave it in the cockpit to dry a bit before putting 
it away. Glad to have the real-life experience.

Thanks for posting.
